    Immaculate Grid: Show Off Your Useless Baseball Depth Knowledge!

    Add this one to your Wordle daily rotation. Comes up daily at midnight. 3 by 3 grid. You miss one, you can't be perfect, only 9 attempts. Hence immaculate grid. I helped make this one popular, both on Twitter and in the MLBN offices. It's a topic of daily discussion among departments for the...

    Game 1: Come Tomorrow, Wake Up Anew, See the Sun.

    When you see the heat, you see the light. But which light is that? Is it the radiance of tomorrow's sun and summer? Or is the clearness of the path that potentially awaits, through this arduous, unrelenting championship path? Both are correct if you ask me. But we, Boston, you see, we're not...

    Game 7: Knowing More Than Who Our Parents Were

    With apologies to Mark Twain for the title's inspiration out of the way... A few nights ago, there was Game 6. It was won, it is over. Don't mistake that activity for achievement. Because much awaits. As we wait for the final 48, we need that pain we secretly relish, that of anticipation. It...

    Game 6: The Beginning of Philly's End

    If you think Tuesday's loss is the absolute end, I question. I question not of the Celtics. Not of Joe, not of Jayson, not of Jaylen. Or anyone else you can name. I question of you. Every last one of you. More specifically, I question why. I question you specifically. Because why should you be...

    4/21-23 series vs. TOR

    Let’s put #1 at priority #1. Yankees haven’t dropped a series all year yet have lost each of each of their last four series openers. Good a chance as you’ll get tonight to right that ship. Also a fun substitute to see if German has any kind of drop off from last start, or if he doesn’t. Hey...

    Vote me for best baseball Twitter user 2021?

    View: https://twitter.com/dannyvietti/status/1471260440437030915?s=21 I gain nothing from this financially or in prize at least as far as I know, it’s just a cute contest. But yeah. This is cool. No shame in losing to Bob Kendrick, who is first round matchup, dude is amazing. Mad respect for...

    Marcelo Mayer, 2021 1-4

    What’s not to like? Guy was projected to be the first overall? I get high school kid doubt but this was a slam dunk selection. Baseball America says he’s the best defensive SS glove in the class. Love his swing, can hit to all fields. Maybe a little lean but I think he can fill out properly for...

    What’s the best team you can build with these circumstances?

    It’s a flawed stat of course, but as inspired by Twitter, what’s the most bWAR you can get out of a team of nine players, from 1871 to today? With no DH, but yes to pitcher. The catch is, each player has to have played at least 30% of their career games at the position you list them at (thus...

    FanGraphs is in Financial Trouble

    They’re basically my #1 outlet for baseball news and modern commentary on the game of baseball, and that especially holds true these days to be a much needed escape and distraction. Ringer presents a pretty grim picture. It’s a tough time for all of us with larger issues afoot. Any way we can...

    2019 Alabama Football: Is #13 #1?

    Made one of these two years ago. Success. Didn't make one last year? Shame on me. Clemson drubbed, lack of any kind of red zone offense, IOL struggled without Cornbread Brown, suspended. So yeah, this team is ungodly stacked. Even for a Saban team. The only real question I have is who plays...

    Romo and Juliet: the Art of Pre-called Plays

    I've had the same question, given I think this is personally a repeatable skill for even someone like me who watches a ton of film, but never played a down at any level. Yes, that's a humblebrag. Before any snap, this is my thought process: Look at the down lineman and their technique, count...

    2018 Alabama Football: How about a nice Hawaiian Punch?

    It's another year in T-Town, with a deity's worth of incoming freshman 5-star recruits (Harris, Leatherwood, Moses, Jeudy, Ray, Tua), although with the caveat of losing 10 players to Sundays alone this past draft, most in the Common Draft era for the program, plus three more as UDFAs (Mazza...

    Personal findings of Improving Baseball Savant: Where to go with my findings?

    Hi everyone, kind of an odd way to start, but this topic is kind of odd, if awfully fun, too. So here goes. I've been looking at some Baseball Savant stuff over the past six months or so, which sounds pretty normal, right? Thing is, I've realized through a bit of in-depth look at it just how...

Basically, we're trying to be the Football Outsiders of the AHL, by contributor numbers needed. You'd need time to...
